NEGRO STUDENTS AT HOWARD LAST * YEAR FAST 2,000 Figures Disclosed When Increase in Appropriation Is Sought. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—More than 2,000 Negro students attended Howard University in Washington last year, the president of the university, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, told the Appropriations Committee of the House, according to testimony released when the Interior Department appropriation bill was reported to the House. Two of them came from the Virgin Islands to attend Howard, five from Africa; twenty-five from the British West Indies, fourteen from British Guiana, four from Canada, seven from Jamaica and five from Borto Rico. The college of liberal arts had the most students, 963; 463 were studying to be teachers. 226 to be physicians and surgeons and 101 were enrolled in the dentistry course. Only seventy-two were specializing in music with a view to making that their life work; ninety-one chose law, seventy-three pharmacy B.nd forty-eight were planning to be ministers of the Gospel. Said Dr. Johnson: "Since the days Us slavery, only 10,000 colored men women have obtained college and university training. About 6.469 are now pursuing it. If all of these should graduate in the next four years, there would still be less than two college and university trained men and women to every 1,000 of Negro population. There would be only one physician to every 3,000 and one dentist to every 20,000.” More than 7,000 of the 10,000 colored university and college grad-

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Dec. 17. —Though science has thus far failed to create a man In its laboratories, It may In the future be able to grow one exactly to specifications. For soil chemistry, which has made great advances in determining what kind of plants shall Inhabit the earth, is now hard at work on man. Dr. Jacob Dipman, director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, announces this new idea. Whereas we now fertilize for al salsa, or cotton or wheat, we may in time be able to fortllze for man’s physical health, temperament and artistic talents. We ma.y discover the exact chemical which is needed to grow a race of musical geniuses, or of students or of farmers. Clvemlstry Modifies Humans This does not mean, of course, that types of men can ever be grown on nates In the United States today were educated at Howard, Dr. Johnlon said. Os the more than 2,000 students registered last year at Howard, 634 were young women.

huge plantations, as cotton is grown now. But it is true, Dr. IJpman declares, that Boil chemistry can greatly modify types of human beings and other animals, according to the design of the chemist. “Everything goes back to chemistry,” he says. "Plants depend upon the soil, and vary as the soil varies. Animals live upon the plants, or upon other animals that eat them, and therefore are also dependent on soil chemistry. “Animal types in China and Japan, where rice is the main food, differ widely from the animals of South America, where beans arid maize are the staples. "We have learned that soils minus iodine produce animals inclined to goiter. Sociologists may not have understood the prevalence of feeblemindedness among people of pinetree regions, such as the New Jersey coast, but the chemist, realizes that the soil of these regions lacks phosphate of lime and manganese, two

"He also has noticed that the men of West Virginia and Kentucky and central New York ure tall and powerful, because those soils are rich in lime. "We are learning that the cheml cals present In the 801 lln small amounts may be Just as Important to human development as the more prominent ones, that minute deposits of copper, zinc, manganese, fluorine and borum may control the growth of both plants and animals. "Os course the richer the soil, the bigger the plants, and consequently, the animals.

"War statistics showed that the average American Is much larger than the European. I attribute this partly to the intrinsic richness of American soil and partly to the complex diet achieved by means of American transportation systems. “A New Yorker sits down to breakfast at a table loaded with food from seven or eight parts of the country—grapefruit from Florida, cream from Ixrng Tsland, sausage from Missouri, wheat rolls or griddle cakes from Minnesota or Kansas.
